Mr. Hamilton’s Visit

* An always welcome visitor to this Province is the Hon. Alvin Hamilton, ~ ‘Federal Minister of Resoutces, who is expected here today in connection with the signing of the Government’s roads-to-resources program which ~ started two years ago. We are benefit- ‘ing materially under this program, which has been broadened to include roads to our centres of tourist inter- est, since mineral deposits here are non-existent, or at least unavailable commercially. ;

Mr. Hamilton is also interested inthe plans for our new historic nat- ional park at Fort Amherst, which his department has taken over after its purchase by the Provincial Gov- ernment and on which, it is to be hoped, progress will be made next year.

It has been established through 2 questionnaire sent out from Ottawa

Es

that among all forms of tourist

activity, second place is occupied by “visiting: historic sites.” On seeing” surpasses it in popularity, and sightseeing, it may be credibly supposed, includes also a look at some of the places of historic appeal. The Fort Amherst histori¢ park should _ prove a big attraction on this basis, and its acquisition by the Dominion

_ Goyernment is a matter of satisfact-_

ion to all concerned.

_ Montague’s Heavy Loss

Montague s<_ ucers- Unies r

- destruction of its fine modern high _ school is a: provincial loss as well. All our citizens are seriously con-

cerned with the problem which the /

town now faces of providing emer- gency accomodation for the staff and students, and also equipment that will tide them over until.a‘new school is built. It is fortunate that there were no injuries, and that the fire occurred a few hours before, and not during the progress of, a students’ dance which was scheduled for that evening.

But the fire loss, estimated at a quarter of a million dollars, is a heavy blow, especially as it includes records and other material of an irreplace- able nature. The Education Minis- ter’s assurance that his department will co-operate in every. way in meet- ing the emergency will be appreciat- ed, and certainly in extending. his sympathy he has voiced the senti- ments of all our people.

' One outcome of: the fire, it is suggested, may be the construction of a regional high school, which would

serve a wider area than the building ©

that has been destroyed. We have

, nc doubt, at any rate, that the chal- lenge of the disaster will be met with the same spirit that was shown on a previous occasion, and that the needs of education ‘will be amply planned for and provided.

Shortage Problem Eased

It is encouraging to find that across Canada a more optimistic note is being sounded with regard to the teacher shortage situation. This is stressed in a current release from the Canadian Home and School and Parent-Teacher Federation. The op- timism, however, is expressed chiefly in connection with elementary schools, where the shortage is eas- ing noticeably. There is still a very real problem in staffing the. high schools with qualified teachers, and it promises to be with us for many years\yet.

Reports indicate that men and -women from other occupations are applying in unprecedented numbers

’ for admission to teacher training programs, also that more college graduates are taking up teaching 9s the status of the profession improves.

While improved salaries have had an effect in bringing about this _ehange, there has also been more

: @wareness en the part of the public - of the value and vital importance of ~.@ sound educational system, and of the fact

“sight- !

only one province requires more than

year of teacher training for perman- ent certification, and some require less. However, there are indications

ed and that the day may come when only persons with very high qual- ifications will be-permited to enter the teaching profession. -

In Prince Edward Island it is noted that-the teacher shortage is becoming less acute, enrolment being almost double last year. The number of permits to teach is two-thirds of that for 1958-59. Quality is being up- graded, and teachers are seeking ad- ditional» academic and professional, courses. The incentive for this was a change in regulations which per- mitted recognition for additional university- credit courses and a cor-- responding increase in salary.

Mr. Pearson's. Stand

- A lot of hot air was generated at the Liberal Federation convention last week; but there was one state- ment that arrested our attention, and —we hope—that of the Diefenbaker Government as well. That was Mr. Pearson’s announcement that one of ‘the first acts of a Liberal govern- ment would be to associate Canada ‘with the free trade-areas of Europe.

The objective, Mr. Pearson said, should be to make the Atlantic com- munity. and the Commonwealth in- to the biggest area of freest possible trade in the world. Such trade re- lations would not only be the basis

basis for competition with the Soviet economic offensive. If the Conservatives neglect this

exploit it as a campaign policy, we venture to say that they will lose a lot of votes both in the Atlantic and Western Provinces. We see-no- hope for our ‘farmers and other basic pro-

on such terms as tlie Liberal leader has outlined. Apart from defense pro- blems, it is the biggest issue con- fronting.us today.

The Liberal leader was also on sound ground in criticising the Gov- ernment for having abstained from the United Nations vote against South Africa’s white supremacy policies.

Its abstention, he argued, was in- consistent with its talk about a bill of rights and‘ fundamental freedoms. We expressed similar views on the subject the other day. But in Mr. Pearson's case, alas, there is his own record as External Affairs Minister and Canadian representative at the U.N., when he did precisely what he is now condemning. He sees the light now, and that is to his credit; but it would have been much more to his credit had he followed his own advice when in office.

The Fairbridge. Society, which for 50 years has been the means of help- ing British children with “ a love of the good: earth and in the gold of the sunshine” to emigrate within the Commonwealth, is to extend its efforts to Canada by setting boys there who wish to take up farming as a career. The scheme, to be run with the co-operation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, will begin by placing selected groups of 15-year-old boys on farms in the United Kingdom to discover whether they do genuinely have a vocation for farming, and to see how they and their parents react to what in.» many cases will

be a firat separation.

In itself, the agreement on the future of this unpeopled waste might not seem specially mom- entous. But in the words of the British Ambassador to the Uni- ted States, Sir Harold Caccia, it could have “importance far trans- vending Antarctica’.

It could help, he said, to es- | tablish a “climate more favour-

international questions’’.

For here at last the Soviet Un- ion has agreed to operate a sys- tem of genuine international in- | spection. The whole of the An- tarctic below latitude 60 is to be

To ensure that this principle” is upheld, any of the signatory countries may send observers to any part of the continent.

Under Article seven of the | Treaty, these observers will be free to visit “tall the areas of An- tarctica’’ at anytime. This in- cludes access to stations, installa tions, and ships and aircraft at the points of discharging or em- barking cargoes. Aerial observa- tion may be: carried out any- where at anytime.

The basic principles of the Treaty were enunciated in, Presi- dent Eisenhower's invitation to the 11 other signatory powers 18 months ago—freedom of, and con- tinued co-operation in, scientific research, and the use_of the area- for peaceful purposes only. These principles correspond with those announced. jointly by Mr. Mac- millan and Mr. Menzies; the Aus- tralian Prime Minister, during the British Premier's visit to Aus- tralia three months earlier.

ACCESSION BY U.N.

The Treaty will become effec- tive after it has been ratified by all 12 signatories: these are ‘Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Britain, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Af- rica, the United States and Rus- sia.

It is open for accession by any state which is a member of the United Nations or which is in- vited to join. But there is also a provision for co-operation with

The Conservative Government came in for some heavy criticism from the partisan speakers at this all - Liberal meet.

Mr. Bruce Matthews argued that “in the past parliamentary session, the government commit- ted so many amazing blunders that it was difficult for the Lib eral Opposition to concentrate. on any one for a great length of time: . .the hand of political ex- pediency was constantly evident.”

Chairman Maurice _ Bourget, M.P. for Levis, Quebec. praised the effectiveness of the Hon. “Mike” Pearson for ‘his perfor- mance of his role as ‘“‘our leader in Parliament during the past two years of Conservative visionary

In addition, acceding states de- monstrating scientific interest in Antarctica will be entitled to join the original signatories in a Com- the principles of the Treaty.

De-militarisation of the area includes the prohibition of. nu- cléar tests. Nuclear explosions for \scientific purposes are also forbidden unless provision . is made for them in some other in- ternational instrument.

Legal status quo becomes “‘fro- zen” by the Treaty. This has among other things the effect of shelving the dispute between the United Kingdom, Argentina and Chile in the Treaty- zones. Exist- ing claims are not ‘thereby re- nounced, but no new ones may be made by signatories.

WORK OF LG.Y. Thus, by a series of prohibi-

tions, the stage is set for posi-,|

tive co-operation in Antarctica— notably between the East and the

‘\| West. The aim is that the good

work accomplished under the In- ternational Geophysical Year should be further developed. Scientists of any nation may pur- sue their studies wherever they like in the five miillion square

miles of the continent's territory. | Machinery is to be set up for the exchange of plans, for programs |

and the results of research, Un- der Article three we may expect to see Russian, American and British scientists working side by side on expeditions and in ob- servation stations.

Foremost among the subjects for study are meteorology, geo- logy, hydrography and magnet- ism. One of Britain's more in- teresting enterprises in the com- ing months will be the collec- tion of cosmic particles which fall from outer space at the rate of some hundreds of ‘ons a year. Those falling in Avi arctica are uncontaminated-by the atmos- phere and are therefore in per- fect condition for examination.

ATTACK TORY HUCKSTER

When Mr. Pearson came to the rostrum, he at once pitched into his favourite theme, citicising “the huckstering techniques emanating from the Conservative Party office here’ and blasting “the slick effort to market a person and a party” as “an ex- ercise in misrepresentation and dishonesty.”

*‘In- facet.” he--continued, ‘if these hucksters were. selling goods, they could be proceded

false and misleading advertising; if they were peddling stock, they would be prosecuted ‘for gross misrepresentation. But I prefer to think of this Conservative propa- ganda as merely crime comics- and I believe there is a law against those too now.” Ridicule is a speaker's most ef- fective weapon, and Mr. Pearson is repeatedly using this against the still - electioneering efforts being made to woo the voters who, the hucksters forget, ,caste their ballots nearly two years ago. Further, as another speaker declared, Canadians resent any attempt to “Sell” us anything. As this working group of Lib- erals went smoothly through their well - organized annual

Since then she has been showing active in- terest in the area and-the pos- sibility of a collision with other Powers was never far off. This has now been averted. In the last analysis of course, there can hardly be. any physica) sanction on violations of the Treaty. But account is taken: of the possibil- ity of disputes. The Treaty re- quires that contracting parties shall attempt to solve these by negotiation, inquiry, » mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement> or other _ peaceful means.
